| The traction control system lights come on during wet weather and or turning. the anti-locks brakes fail to work unless pressed completely down. no accidents have occured at this time, but a few close calls. the car is being returned to a gm dealer to inspect and report the problem. the brakes have always had a spongy feeling since date of purchase and since the brake recall was adjusted. i would hope that this problem can be investigated before there is a fatal incident since the anti-lock brakes become very non-responsive when the traction control system fails. | |||
